V-belt routing w/o AC

Hey, I was just wondering what you folks did with your belt routing after removing your A/C pulley. I'm thinking of Just running a belt from the crank to P/S and water pumps? I measured it at 46 inches. Anyone else done this? Thanks!

My V-belt system had 3 belts... one for the crank-wp-alt, one for the crank-ps, and one for the crank-wp-AC (i think?).

I just took the AC belt off, and thats all... everything else there had another belt to run off of.

So the wp and ps should be ok to run, despite having one less belt from the crank spinning them? Since the A/C belt went crank-wp-ac-ps, and it's gone now. Thanks for the input.
